BWI’s hydrological model for the La Dyle catchment in central Belgium achieves a catchment-area-weighted mean NNSE of 0.76 on the testing dataset (January 2025 – March 2026), with 9 of 10 validated stations exceeding the deployment threshold of NNSE 0.65. The model demonstrates reliable performance across a mixed agricultural and urban catchment with no dam regulation, where seasonal variability and land-use influence on runoff are the primary hydrological challenges.

On 4-5 June 2026, BWI attended Forum by Aerospace Valley 2026 in Biarritz to discuss Earth observation, hydrological forecasting and the future of water intelligence.

BWI’s hydrological model for the La Dordogne catchment at Domme achieves a catchment-area-weighted mean NNSE of 0.88 on the testing dataset (May 2025 – May 2026) — the highest area-weighted score across BWI’s published performance reports to date. Of 27 validated stations, 25 exceed the deployment threshold of NNSE 0.65, and 19 exceed NNSE 0.80. Performance at station level is highly variable however, with a standard deviation of 0.17 — a localised outlier discussed below.

At GeoField 2026 in Rome, BWI explores how river basin digitization and river flow forecasting can improve irrigation dispatch, strengthen water efficiency, and help basin managers balance agriculture with energy, industry, drinking water, and ecosystem needs.

Water is now a strategic variable that shapes performance, resilience, and investment decisions. BWI helps organizations turn fragmented hydrological data into actionable river-flow forecasts and basin-wide intelligence, even in ungauged or data-sparse basins.

BWI is not replacing weather forecasts with kriging, but correcting and densifying them at the basin scale using connected ground sensors. That makes the hydrological model more sensitive to the rainfall that actually falls on the catchment, which is the main reason kriging is valuable for small basins with high spatial variability.

Blue Water Intelligence proudly celebrates the distinction of its President, Philippe Gautier, who has been awarded the Légion d’Honneur in recognition of a lifetime of service, leadership, and commitment to innovation.

Europe is putting water at the center of resilience, competitiveness, and climate adaptation. For BWI, the EU Water Resilience Strategy confirms that data-driven monitoring and smarter basin management are becoming essential.

The Godavari basin is one of India’s most strategically important freshwater systems. It supports roughly 76 million people, sustains major agricultural economies across five Indian states, and functions in practice as a transboundary basin where upstream and downstream decisions made in one state reshape water security in another.

For BWI, the Godavari is best understood not as a single river, but as a complex water economy under stress. Its core challenge is not simply scarcity or abundance, but volatility: too much water in some places and seasons, too little in others, and not enough reliable intelligence to manage the system as a whole.
